VIKOMED RESPONDS TO WORLD TUBERCULOSIS DAY 2025: TOWARDS A TUBERCULOSIS-FREE VIETNAM
March 24 each year has been designated by the United Nations as World Tuberculosis Day, aiming to raise public awareness about the dangers of tuberculosis, and to promote global efforts to control and eventually eliminate the disease. In response to this special occasion, Viet Nam – Korea Medical Corporation (VIKOMED) is honored to sponsor the Central Lung Hospital/National Tuberculosis Control Program in the Commemoration Ceremony of World Tuberculosis Day on March 24, 2025, and the Summary Conference of the 2024 National TB Control Program, including the launch of the 2025 plan.
📍 Time: Monday, March 24, 2025, from 08:00 AM – 4:30 PM
📍 Venue: International Convention Center, 35 Hung Vuong Street, Ba Dinh, Hanoi
This event gathers leaders from the Party and Government, the Ministry of Health, representatives of various Ministries and agencies, international organizations, leading medical experts, and the media. It marks an important milestone in the journey to enhance the effectiveness of tuberculosis prevention and control in Vietnam.
In celebration of this significant event, Viet Nam – Korea Medical Corporation (VIKOMED) proudly stands as a pioneer in providing modern technological solutions that contribute to improving TB prevention and control in Vietnam.
One of VIKOMED’s notable contributions was the handover of 27 mobile digital X-ray systems to the Central Lung Hospital under the framework of the Global Fund TB Control Project 2018–2020. These specialized vehicles are equipped with advanced technologies, including cutting-edge disinfection systems, automated film reading capabilities, and artificial intelligence integration, enabling early detection of lung and respiratory diseases.
The deployment of these mobile X-ray units has greatly facilitated TB screening in many regions, especially in hard-to-reach areas. With fast imaging and result delivery, along with high mobility, these mobile systems have helped increase early detection rates, minimize the risk of community transmission, and provide timely support for treatment. This is part of VIKOMED’s ongoing effort to apply technology in practical healthcare and to join hands with the entire political system in the mission to end tuberculosis in Vietnam.
